The primary purpose of Indiana State Teachers Col-
lege is to prepare competent teachers for the public
schools — intellectually, socially, and spiritually.
In the past many people were of the opinion that
teachers colleges emphasized largely methods of
teaching rather than subject matter or content. This
point of view is far from being a correct assessment
of the situation. It is true that a teachers college
emphasizes not only what to teach but the way in
which the material should be presented. However,
professional education is confined largely to the stu-
dent's senior year and includes a semester of actual
teaching which serves as a clinical experience. In the
preceding years there is given general education
which encompasses an understanding of the human-
ities, natural sciences, and social sciences. Although
the larger part of the students study is devoted to
his major field, he is able to engage in the broad
program of liberal education based on all depart-
ments of the college.
While this college is concerned with the social and
spiritual development of its students, its primary
emphasis is on liberal arts and intellectual growth.

Science
Homo sapiens Indianae: an enigmatic lump of pro-
toplasm valued at opproximotely eighty-seven cents
— chemically speaking, that is! No Frankenstein crea-
tion he. From the moment of his conception our speci-
men has been slov^ly evolving as a product of hered-
ity and environment. His present phase of develop-
ment, dominated greatly by environmental influences,
is perhaps his most complex. As a result of external
stimulation, and contrary to the design of Nature,
this "pupil" stage of man's metamorphosis is prob-
ably also his most active. His energizer, and perhaps
the most dominant factor in the student's transmuta-
tion, is his instructor.

Art
The professor may be considered an artist at work:
before him on an easel of basic skills is o spattered
canvas (the student's mind, a variegated obstraction
of fundamental learning); having established the
proper perspective, the educator dips into his palette
(his own knowledge), then skillfully, thoughtfully,
applies his colors. Should they blend with those al-
ready on the canvas — fine; if they contrast — excellent!
It is the clash of colors which is most likely to stimu-
late the subject.

Business
With its demond for raw materials having been sup-
plied by the professor, the students brain meshes into
gear. What an intricate machine it is! There are no
buttons to be pressed, no keys to be punched in the
feeding process. Because it is capable of perpetual
production neither is there a warning bell to signal
the end of the line is soon to come. Perhaps this mech-
anism's most amazing feature is that no one knows
what it is capable of manufacturing!

Elementary
Batteries are enough to run small motors. The "three
r's' have given the first power. This was acquired
during the time of Dick and Jane, the Peterson and
Palmer methods, and number flashcards. Now the
student has probably made many new acquaintances
through literature; his handwriting has very likely be-
come a major expression of his individuality; the flash-
cards have perhaps been replaced by books of math-
ematical tables. But, as elementary as was that first
phase, just as basic is this present stage in the learn-
ing process.

English-Speech
The fourth "r" had to come late because of what had happened to the
students ancestor — a chest-pounding, hairy Pithecanthropus (and not so
very) erecfus who uttered a mere mono-syllabic grunt which probably had
innumerable connotations. If a rather amicable cave dweller just happened
to misvocalize o greeting to his wary, club-carrying neighbor, think of the
result. All the neighbor needed to do was cudgel the poor misunderstood
fellow and thus put an end to needless wrangling, snarl-grunting — and to
the snarl-grunter himself. But the snarl-grunter learned to moke words
before it was too late. He worshipped these words, made idols of his
symbols, and landed himself in such a semantic confusion that as the
centuries rolled by he found he hod to go to college and study all
the words, their origin, their relation to the extensional world, and their
use in great poems.

Foreign Languages
After these snarl-grunfers made words they discovered
other snorl-grunters scattered over the valleys and
deserts. Alas, they hod made different words for the
some things. Now their descendant (our student) must
learn not only his own words but theirs too if he is
to enlarge his ocquaintance. An almost endless mul-
tiplication of languages throughout the centuries hos
imposed on the educated mon today the necessity
of being a man of many tongues.

Social Studies
Man has learned, though, thot the language barrier
is not the only one which exists in his environment.
In this stage of his development the student realizes
that he has become port of a world full of economic
problems and social issues. Having learned as a child
to be a good citizen in the home, he now explores
the cultural concepts and institutions of a larger
society. He studies carefully the duties expected of
citizens in other cultural groups. Then, judging thought-
fully, weighing methodically, and speculating widely
about the functioning of these organizations, he be-
comes his own historian.

Home Economics
The nucleus of a society is the home. It is here that
basic patterns of governnnent, co-operation, responsi-
bility, and leadership are cut. When the material is
stretched, wide seams ore left so that alterations may
easily be mode as the weorer outgrows the garment.
As he moves through family life to school life, to
church life, and finally to public life, his experience
stretches him. Good patterns need not be changed.
The style of the garment is still good if it was cut
right to start with and if room was allowed for growth.
He can move with grace, all parts free to walk with
his fellows, keeping time to the tune.

Music
With further reflection the student is very likely to
decide that this is the time during which he must put
into procfice principles of harmonious living. Some-
where in the multiple themes of the sociol symphony
he must find his place. Perhaps at this stage of devel-
opment it will be necessary for him to rely upon
assistance of a leader — someone capable of conduct-
ing him in on adjustment to the tempo of life around
him. There may very likely be certain measures at
which he will balk, but after diligent practice the
student's cacophonic protests will usually have sub-
sided to melodious synchronization with his world.

Health and Physical Education
There is always, of course, the possibility that un-
expectedly the time may occur when someone inter-
feres with his affairs. With a reflexive action man's
only means of defense may be to strike his adversary.
If he were to utilize his energies, on the other hand,
in becoming a playmate rather than an opponent;
if he were to condition himself in shared recreation
with his neighbor; the co-operation, good sportsman-
ship, and the ability to give and take that would
develop would far outweigh any bulging biceps capa-
ble of smashing the jaw of his fellow man.

At times, however, no amount of effort can bring
about camaraderie. On on international scale tfiis is
serious. Then the energies of not an individual but
a group of people — those trained in military tactics —
are required to restore peace. ISTC has provided the
opportunity for quolifying male students to receive
basic training in military science. The connotation
usually associated with this type of preparation is a
rather unpleasant one— war. Seldom considered per-
haps are the personal benefits of this instruction-
leadership, ability to follow directions, self-discipline,
action under pressure.

Mathematics
All in all, this is a time of concentrated intellectual
growth. This is the stoge when the mind of mon
recognizes the complexities of the universe; this is
perhops o period of mathematical paradox: the stu-
dent should not only be making additions to his basic
knowledge, but he should also be making subtractions
porticularly of unsubstantiated ideas. The calculating
individual which is being transfigured is expected to
construct fundamentol concepts for future problem
solving.

Student Teaching
The ultimate test of his skills will be mode when the
time arrives for the student to put them into practice.
These will be days of lesson plans, chalk dust, and
the manifestation of that supreme requirement of a
good teacher — patience. The student teacher must
bear in mind that the learning process takes time.
(Doesn't he, after all, remember how slowly his own
education evolved? He knows, too, this was an expe-
rience guided by professionals in their field.) There-
fore, he adopts the principle practiced by those much
wiser than he; and patiently but eagerly he awaits
the first sign of anticipated response from his students.

Psychology and Education
Although just a novice at the time he does his prac-
tice work the future teacher is well-equipped with
educational techniques. From professional education
classes he has learned the importance of sensory
materials and experiences involved in the psycholog-
icol aspects of the learning process. This is the period
of his experimenting with these theories. As he ob-
serves the results of his testing it is very likely that
he will analyze individual student reactions, behavior,
and achievements. Thus, it is highly probable that
the complexity of the phenomenon of his own intel-
lectual growth may be reinforced in his mind.

Geography
The Indiana student has travelled many lands in his
intellectual evolution. He may perhaps be likened to
his desert-dwelling neighbors across the ocean. The
wanderings of these people are necessitated by the
need of food for their herds; the pupils nomadic
journeys are dictated by his hunger for education.
Once he has exhausted the resources available in
one place he goes to another, thus migrating from the
home, to the high school, to the college. Where on
the vast continent of knowledge will his travels take
him once he has left the realm of ISTC?

Graduate School
ISTC recognizes that those who do not continue their
education all their lives do not attain their full growth.
So to help direct graduates in further growth the col-
lege has instituted a graduate school, and in August
1958 graduated its first class with master's degrees in
elementary education.
And now the school itself is growing, extending its
offerings to prepare graduates for master's degrees in
the secondary field. The summer session of 1959 will see
English and history and geography grads in the library
and science grads in the labs.
Dr. I. L. Strighl, Director of Gradu-
ate Studies
Religious Life
Committee
The Religious Life Committee is responsible for campus
religious activities of the Indiana students. It recognizes
the numerous denominational faiths existing on the
campus and, working with the College's active religious
groups, sponsors one week during the school term de-
voted to the emphasis of religion. During Religion in
Life Week leaders in the various sects are brought to
the campus. This is not a week of preaching, but a time
of informal discussions and open gatherings of students
and speakers. Through information gained, quite fre-
quently the ultimate purpose of this week's functions is
achieved — enlightment to erase religious prejudice and
develop among the students tolerance for the multiple
means of worship of our common God.

A well-balanced diet contributes just as much to in-
tellectual development as it does to physical devel-
opment. Mans major source of food for thought is
books. The large variety of sweets and sours in
Wilson Hall Library whet the appetite of the student.
He must learn to select wisely that foodstuff which
will best satisfy his hunger.

Participation in both on-stage performances and back-
stage production is required of those who are members
of the national honorary dramatics fraternity. Talent,
however, is not the only part of the individual which is
developed during work in the theater. Although the
student does acquire knowledge of acting techniques,
costume, light, and make-up practices, it is very likely
that aspects of social growth receive the greatest em-
phasis. Very few can participate in dramatics without
advancing, to some degree, personal standards of re-
sponsibility, dependability, and co-operation.

It is exceptional individual performance in either the
instrumental or vocal field which has gained member-
ship for women students in the honorary music frater-
nity. Through closed and open recitals during the year
musical competence is developed; in addition the soci-
ety encourages music appreciation and acquaintance
with composers and their compositions, and stimulates
fellowship through a shared interest.

Those who belong to the honorary art fraternity have
perhaps learned best how to accept criticism — either
destructive or constructive. With numerous displays of
their work appearing on campus they are frequently ex-
posed to a variety of opinions. Through open discus-
sions of these judgments, however, the organization is
able to fulfill its purpose — to create, stimulate, and de-
velop art interests among the college students.

Although its chief purpose is to advance professional
interests and help establish contacts in the field, this
honorary geography fraternity also performs other
functions having great value for its members. Informal
discussions with v^orld travellers alert students to the
living conditions of people in all corners of the globe;
field trips provide the opportunity for on-the-spot sur-
veys of man and his industries; panel discussions en-
able opinions to be informed on contemporary man's

The business department's honorary fraternity for men
selects for membership those students who show distinct

are held during which contemporary business trends
are examined. Emphasizing service as the ideal founda-
tion of all creditable enterprises, the organization spon-
sors a number of community projects from which not
only those in the society, but all members of the depart-
ment benefit.

The members of the honorary home economics frater-

abounding most in the specific elements required to sat-

"worthy home membership. ' These girls, while training
for their profession, have become much more than
good cooks, seamstresses, and potential homemakers.
They have become problem solvers. In them has been
instilled a definite responsibility for solving social and
economic problems, coupled" with the development of
higher ideals of living and a broader social, intellec-
tual and cultural attainment.

curriculum of speech and hearing. Through the frater-

to put into practice speech correction techniques learn-

under the supervision of the head clinician, students are
exposed to situations typical of those which they may
encounter when working after graduation. Through
clinic work, also, is provided the opportunity for attain-
ment of the highest degree of membership — honor
level.

Junior Class
An important person on Indiana's campus is the jun-
ior. With the senior busy student teaching off cam-
pus, everything falls on him, he says. He has to
keep the wheels turning — plan dances, arrange pro-
grams, serve on committees. He has grown into big
jobs entailing responsibility and leadership. Along
with all this he has to study — and how. He is now
specializing in a ma|or field where he repeatedly
hears If you expect to teach you must know your
material. Sometimes he feels that he must be suf-
fering from growing pains.

Sophomore Class
One step aheod of the freshmen, two steps behind
the graduating class, the sophomore is no longer a
child, not yet a man. He is very much a social being,
winning elections to club ofTices, serving on commit-
tees, giving seasoned advice to incoming students,
searching for answers to questions that had not oc-
curred to him a year ago. He wears a look of self-
assurance, hard earned and well deserved. He wears
new clothes too, having outgrown the old ones —
the provincial ideas, the outworn prejudices, he
packed with him when he came to ISTC in 1957.
Freshman Class
The child is father of the man, we like to soy. This
freshman child will be the man we here at Indiana
make him. When he oppears in 1962 on our senior
pages he will have been stretched to a good height,
we hope. We don't intend to pour him into a mold.
We may pull and tug and bend him, but twist him
we won t. We don t want to shape him either. We
want him to shape himself by straining for giant
stature, becoming the best man his childhood can
moke him father to.

AAemoriam
Dr. Alan P. Mewha
Dr. Alan P. Mewha won our esteem In his three years here. As a geographer
we valued him, as did the many geography societies to which he contributed
his ideas and his labors. As a teacher we valued him for the training he
gave us in scientific precision and creative inquiry.
As a man he inspired us by the example of his selfless activities and his
great zest for life. With eager curiosity he explored the natural world;
with humanitarian concern he examined the social world. Always he was
eager to do his part in making a better world.
We may say that he has done his part in inspiring us to carry on his
work.
84
Dr. Rhodes R, Slobiey
Dr. Rhodes R. Stable/ served our college for sixteen years, developing
teachers ond writers. For years after their graduation he was their leader
in professional societies.
A sportsman who loved to swing a golf club or cheer a ball team, he was
also a scholar. His interests ranged over science, religion, and the arts.
He searched for beauty, and he searched for truth, wherever they were
to be found. In the true Emersonian sense he was a scholar, a leader
among men. He was Man Thinking.
Those working under him felt they were working with him. Students
worked for him. He worked for all. Dr. Stabley is lost to us, but his worth
and his work will never be lost.
85
The cornerstone of Indiana's campus is growth. We ore
expanding at a fast pace, with our enrollment increas-
ing greatly every year. To offer students more dormi-
tory space and more and better classroom facilities we
are in the process of constructing several new buildings.
Already underway are two new dormitories — one for
men and one for women, besides a new science build-
ing and a new music building. Several other additions
are being considered.
To commemorate these new buildings a cornerstone
dedication ceremony was held this winter. Visiting dig-
nitaries dedicated and ofFicially named each of the
new buildings. This official opening marked an impor-
tant step in Indiana's expansion program.
Because we are growing so much physically we
will be able to provide more students with an opportu-
nity for them to grow also — intellectually, socially and
physically. Each of us benefits from this growth, and as
we grow along with our school, we become better pre-
pared to guide others in their growth. This is the ulti-
mate goal of the teaching profession.

Getting together for their first confab, end welcoming
bock sisters who hod graduated but were on campus
for Homecoming weekend activities, the Alpha Sigs
opened the 1958-59 term with their annual Homecoming
tea. A few weeks later the girls began making toys to
be given at Christmas to children in the Indiana Hos-
pital.
Rushing activities started the second semester. After a
week of cokes at the Dell, parties in the sorority room,
and pizza at Bruno's, the formal rush party was held in
February at Claypoole's. A Swing Out banquet and
senior farewell party closed the year for the Alpha Sigs.

Mrs. Shank, new adviser of the Tous, welcomed the
girls back to campus this fall with a party held in her
home. After Homecoming activities a tea was held in
the sorority room where alumnae and guests were en-
tertained. In November, Founders' Day observances —
a banquet and candlelight service — were held at the
Outside Inn. Two rummage sales, a Christmas party,
and the annual snow party brought the first semester to
a close.
The sisters of the green and gold were kept busy with
rushing and pledging the second semester. Climaxing
the year were the pledge party, a Swing Out tea, end
the senior picnic.

Work on their Homecoming float kept ttie Beta Sigs
busy early this fall. Founders' Day observances, Christ-
mas season partying, and fund raising for their national
philanthropy at Pine Mountain Settlement School in
Kentucky, kept the girls bustling during the first se-
mester.
After the lull of mid-term recess, rush week saw the
Beta Sigs entertaining freshmen girls. The Theta Chi
basement was the scene of their formal rush party.
Prior to the panhellenic dance a banquet was held
early in the spring. Rounding off the year were a pledge
dance and the annual senior farewell.

The Delts were seen busily developing biceps early
this fall as they took part in their sorority-sponsored
car washes. In November four representatives were
sent to California State Teachers College, where they
assisted in the formal initiation of a new chapter of the
Delta Zeta sorority. For filling their membership quota
for the first semester the Delts received an award at a
Chicago convention.
Second semester saw pink and green ribbons adorn-
ing the sweaters of their new pledge class. Panhell ac-
tivities and the senior farewell banquet were all crowd-
ed in before the locking of the sorority room door for
the year.

Phi Mu's examine sorority awards ond symbols.
Phi Mu activities for the year were started with a re-
treat in September at the Seph Mack Boy Scout Camp.
In October an informal party, the Rustic Rumpus, was
held at the College lodge. During the first semester the
Phi Mus broke into the entertainment world when two
representatives of the sorority were selected by the lo-
cal radio station to conduct a disc jockey show.
The second semester caught up the girls in the whirl
of rushing. After those activities were over and formal
pledging had been conducted the pledge dance was
held in March at the Indiana Country Club. A Swing
Out tec and a farewell party for the senior sisters were
the last items on the Phi Mu social calendar for the
term.

Indiana Community Center early in the fall. At a pro-
fessional meeting in October, Miss Dunkleberger spoke
to the sisters about her trip to Africa. November 17, Pi
Kappa Sigmas Founders' Day, a party was held at the
home of four senior members. A winter theme carried
out by appropriate decorations dominated the Christ-
mas party and dance at the College lodge.
Second semester activities included rushing parties.
Swing Out festivities, and a senior banquet.

Homecoming activities unlocked the door of the Sig
Kap room this term. After weeks of work on the float
and preparations for open house and a Homecoming
tea, it was all over in one short day. The next event on
the social calendar was a Hallowe'en party held at the
home of their adviser. Initiation and a Christmas party
concluded first semester activities.
In February the Sig Kaps held their pledging cere-
monies. March 21 was the date for the Pre-Panhell
Dinner and Panhell Dance. A pledge dance was held
April 4. Senior activities concluded the term.

The Tri Sigs opened the school year with the largest
fall pledge class among the sororities. In November the
Regional Director of the Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority
was entertained by the girls at a tec. November was
also the month for two other major activities — the an-
nual autumn dance held at the Indiana Country Club
and a dance which the sisters attended at St. Francis
College as the guests of the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity.
Formal rushing got second semester activities under
way, and many deep purple and white pledge ribbons
were seen around campus. The Senior Send-Off, held
at the College lodge, closed social activities for the
Tri Sigs.

Theta Activities for Homecoming included work on their
Christmas package float and preparation for an alum-
nae tea. A few weeks later the Homecoming float elves
had turned into Hallowe'en masqueraders at the Col-
lege lodge — scene of the Theta annual Hallowe'en
party. On December 13 the girls held a Christmas party
at Willard Home, where they played games with the
children, leaving favors and packages of clothing for
them.
Second semester pledges were honored at a dance
held at the Indiana Country Club. After a senior ban-
quet, Swing Out excitement brought to a close this
year's activities of the Thetas.

music, activities, and quota — for the local chapter at
the national convention at Colorado Springs. Back
home the fall pledge class was making plans for a big-
little sister party. Other Zeta activities icniuded Greek
Sing, pledging, and partying.
Turquoise and silver ribbons were sported around
campus by the beaming pledges of the second semes-
ter. A formal pledge dance and a spring banquet held
in honor of the graduating seniors rounded out Zeta
activities for the year.

In their second year as a fraternal organization, activities of
the Delta Gamma Phi's ran smoothly this year. Rushing got
the term off to a start with a smorgasbord at the College
lodge. The brothers of Delta Gamma Phi fell into the social
Greeks' custom of partying and had their share of dinners
and outings. Newly organized is a singing group composed of
talented brothers who plan to vocalize at future functions.

their way this term. The first semester the fraters did
quite a bit of traveling: representatives attended their
national conference, and some brothers visited a con-
clave held at Alfred University, Alfred, New York. Visits
were paid to the ISTC campus by Delta Sigs from St.
Francis College and Edinboro State Teachers College.
Open house activities and rushing kept the fraternity
busy during the second semester. Results: a tidy house
and many new Delta Sig housekeepers.

Entering into the spirit of the construction projects on
campus, the Sig Taus this year built a parking lot near
their house to help alleviate the college parking situa-
tion. This work did not prevent the fraters from having
their parties, however. There were the annual Hallow-
e'en, Homecoming, and Christmas festivities, plus a few
spur-of-the-moment activities. Open house was held
frequently during the term, and the fraters served as
host to Clarion State Teachers College Sig Taus and
their national executive secretary.
Second semester rushing kept the brothers busy. Their
annual White Rose Formal and the senior farewell
party held in May tore the last leaf from the Sig Tou
social calendar for the year.

This yearbook is our endeavor to record
through pictures and the written word a re-
view of the post year's activities — social, phys-
ical, and religious — of the student body at
ISTC. We have emphasized the ways in which
these activities have contributed to the growth
of the students. Through our work we, too,
have grown: socially, through hurried conver-
sations over gulped cups of coffee; physically,
through pushing pencils and pounding type-
writers; and religiously, by crossing our fingers
and whispering a fervent prayer that we meet
our deadline!
The following people are responsible for
this record of ISTC's growth:

Penn
A newspaper has certain obligations to the society it
serves. It must act as informer, entertainer, interpreter,
and guide for its public. If the newspaper is to success-
fully and satisfactorily fulfill these obligations it must be
independent; it must be accurate; it must be fair, hon-
est and decent. THE INDIANA PENN, ISTCs weekly
newspaper, is a reflection of the personalities that have
successfully performed these duties.
In the field of good journalism there is no room for
the person easily swayed into alliance with a power —
good or bad — desiring presentation of facts only as it
wants the public to receive them (the reporter should,
instead, seek out the truth and present it as it exists; he
must be independent). Neither is there room for the dis-
play of partiality (where two opposing sides of an issue
exist the reporter should present both sides; he must be
fair). The tactless individual should not seek a position
in the journalistic fleld for a certain amount of good
taste and decency is required in the way a reporter
goes about getting his news. The honesty and accuracy
of the individual come to the fore when the journalist
writes his findings.
But why restrict these demands for decency, honesty,
and fidelity to the journalist? Don't these duties seem to
be those expected of every good citizen? . . . Yes, and
the PENN staff has an excellent opportunity to get one
jump ahead of us . . .

The Student Writes
"The Indiana Student Writes" is more than a col-
lection of student-produced literature and art work.
It is a cross sectional representation of the variety
of personalities on the Indiana campus. Poems, stories,
and pictures contributed by the students symbolize the
fulfillment of some creative urge which they hove
experienced. The contents of the book Indicate the
students' efforts for self-expression. By sympathizing
with the thoughts of the creator of some piece, a
reader may see more deeply into the personalities
of his classmates, knowing them better than he might
know them in the flesh.
The Sludenl Writes stofF
The Cue staff
The Cue
The student's guide to all his social activities is a
handbook called "The Cue." It is particularly help-
ful to the freshman as he studies its map in order
to learn the geography of the campus and as he
reads, re-reads, and reads again its list of college
regulations in order to become familiar with our rules
for social behavior. If he desires to join a club, all
the student needs to do is turn in his copy of the
book to the section giving a detailed description of
every college organization, then read thoughtfully,
and then make his choice. By following the calendar
of scheduled activities in the back of "The Cue"
the student is certain to be up-to-date on oil social
functionings.

Student Christian Association
The Student Christian Association, an organization
for interdenominational fellowship, makes its contri-
bution on campus by encouraging the growth of
religious feeling and service. Being interdenomina-
tional, it promotes a broadening of religious con-
cepts and a deepening of understanding of those
concepts. It applies the principle of religious com-
munion and religious tolerance in organizing social
activities as well as devotional services for those
sharing a Christian faith.
162
Graystone United Presbyterian Club
ISTC's United Presbyterian College Club is a campus
religious organization affiliated with the Indiana com-
munity Graystone United Presbyterian Church. This
church conducts o special Sunday School class for the
college students. Members of the United Presbyterian
Club participate in weekly Sunday meetings where
various problems and ideas are discussed. In addition
to these meetings, once a month the club has a supper
for its members. Various parties and get-togethers are
held throughout the term, with a picnic usually climax-
ing the year's activities.
Calvary United Presbyterian Club
This year all North American Presbyterian churches
merged and are now known as the United Presbyterian
churches. With this merger, the parent church of iSTC's
Presbyterian Club has become the Calvary United Pres-
byterian Church. Through weekly meetings club mem-
bers are given the opportunity to bring into the open
problems confronting them. Through a sharing of ideas,
a feeling of security and belongingness is fostered.
Spiritual growth, too, is nurtured through Bible study,
with the members relating their findings and under-
standing to present-day situations.
cr^^^SS*
Campus Christian Fellowship
Re-activoted this year is the Campus Christian Fellow-
ship. An eager and earnest group devoted first of all
to sharing spiritual values, they have found they share
also fun and friendship. Beginning anew, as this group
has done, they are expected to grow to great strength.
Their revival is a promising sign of the great growth of
feeling and enthusiasm within the group. It shows also
that this student body is growing, filling more needs,
embracing more faiths.

Lutheran Club
During a campus year Lutherans have a chance to
grow both broad and tall. Spiritually they stretch
high in their vesper programs, reaching towards their
ideal, taking others with them too, especially when
they sponsor vesper service for the whole College.
Socially they broaden by taking into their activities,
such as dinners and smorgasbords, their friends of
other faiths.
166
Methodist Club
For others — more than a hundred others —
spiritual growth is provided by the Methodist
Club, at church suppers and worship services.
Believing that the charitable spirit should be
manifested in charitable acts, the young
Methodists raise money to help support
needy students abroad and to help finance
foreign missions.
Newman Club
The Newman Club is ISTC's religious organization
for Roman Catholic students. Through frequent com-
munion breakfasts this society, while emphasizing its
primary purpose — to instill in its members a deeper
appreciation of their common faith, also provides
the opportunity for fellowship among the students.
Dances, sometimes chaperoned by cardboard monks
and nuns, are occasionally held in the new hall
which the club purchased this year. During Indiana's
annual Religion in Life Week they join other reli-
gious groups in bringing representatives of their faith
to lead open discussions on campus.
168
Orthodox Christian Fellowship
The Orthodox Christian Fellowship is made up of
many good fellows, friends to all and loyal to each
other. In devotional services they encourage piety;
in social gatherings, propriety. They are growing in
numbers, and their numbers are growing in religious
maturity as they participate in devotions, as they ar-
range their programs, and as they work with other
groups during Religion in Life Week. Their organiza-
tion gives its members a sense of belonging to each
other, to their fellow man, and to God.
k
ALPHA PHI OMEGA
Organized this year as a new fraternity at ISTC is APO,
Alpha Phi Omega, a national service organization com-
posed of college men who are or have been affiliated
with the Boy Scouts of America. Because the men were
busy with formalities of organization and arrangement
not much was heard from their end of campus this term;
however, with their purpose being "to assemble college
men in the fellowship of the Scout Oath and Law, de-
velop friendship, and promote service to humanity,"
they promise to be quite active in the near-future.

President Raymond Vernall
Vice-President Marsha Lucas
Treasurer Ellen Cioni
Corresponding Secretary Margaret Barnetl
Recording Secretary James Bowster
Ray Vernoll, President
The student governing body at ISTC is composed of
representatives fronn the eleven departments of the Col-
lege. Presidents of various organizations and the four
classes are also members.
In annual campus-vi'ide elections the student body is
given the privilege to select those persons it feels most
capable of conducting the functions of this organization
in the capacity of president, vice-president, recording
secretary, corresponding secretary, and treasurer. Thus,
the students are given the opportunity to vveigh care-
fully and analyze critically the character of individual
nominees. By participating in these elections, the stu-
dent body realizes it has a responsibility to itself — it
must choose those individuals most representative of
the general decorum of the ISTC campus.
The persons elected to the major offices of Student
Council also have their responsibilities — responsibilities
related primarily to the welfare of the students whom
they represent. Among the Council's duties are included
holding open discussions of student problems, promot-
ing a feeling of friendliness on campus, maintaining the
democratic ideals of the College, and providing for uni-
fication of action on a campus-wide basis.

Women's Judicial Board
The Judicial Board is the law enforcement division
of the Women's Collegiate Association. It reviews
misdemeanors of women students and administers fit-
ting penalties. Because this organization functions pri-
marily on an honor system, with students being ex-
pected to report any infractions of college regula-
tions which they themselves may commit, it has be-
come, perhaps, the major stimulus for the growth of
the socially desirable traits of honesty and respon-
sibility.
International Relations Club
The International Relations Club has been established
primarily as a means of acquainting its members with
current international affairs. Through campus forums
the students are prepared for active participation in
the discussion of world events. To take part in these
discussions club members frequently visit other cam-
puses, which may be regarded as foreign territories.
Thus, these people are provided the opportunity to
exercise intercollegiate social relationships that, should
the occasion ever be afforded, might well serve as
a basis for successful interpersonal associations with
other people in their native lands.

Women's
Collegiate Association
The Women's Collegiate Association, composed of
all women students registered in the college and liv-
ing in dormitories or college controlled houses, is a
self-governing body which, under the supervision of
the Dean of Women, is responsible for establishing
general decorum, house regulations, and social priv-
ileges of the co-eds. They are grown-up — or rapidly
growing. They make their own rules of social behav-
ior and they see these rules imposed. They have
developed in us the patterns of adult behavior. Their
efforts show their social growth and ours too.
The Non-Resident Women's League, a group of com-
muting women and those living off college grounds,
has been established for the purpose of bringing
campus life to these students. Through frequent teas
and meetings they are able to participate in various
scheduled social activities and acquire new friendships
among fellow commuters. They widen their social
circle.
Non-Resident Women's
League
Masquers
The Masquers is an all-college theatrical organization
designed for the improvement of drama and the theater
on the ISTC campus. Because it is open to all students,
the club provides opportunities for those who are not
specialists in speech to participate in dramatic produc-
tion. For the really active and enthusiastic student the
Masquers frequently serves as a stepping stone to
membership in Alpha Psi Omega, the national honorary
dramatics fraternity.
Tea and Tour Committee
Socially representative of the student body, the Tea
and Tour Committee serves as social host to visitors
on the Indiana campus. Its specific duties include enter-
taining— by means of refreshments and a guided tour
of the college — any parents who may accompany pros-
pective students on scheduled entrance testing days.
Such contacts provide the opportunity for members to
engage in conversation with parents, to gain by prac-
tice the decorum they will later need on parents' visit-
ing day in the little red schoolhouse.
Betsy Berger and Dave Bird
Cultural Life Committee
Educational growth is four dimensional, extending into
the leisure time activities, for which the Cultural Life
Committee provides six evenings of professional enter-
tainment selected from the best of touring dancers,
musicians, and acting troupes.
Students serving with faculty members on the com-
mittee learn as well as enjoy: they work on the prob-
lems of budgeting and scheduling; they serve as hosts
to visiting celebrities, arranging teas and receptions
with the distinguished performers.

The I.S.T.C. football team for 1959 got off to a slow
start before finally finishing the season with a respect-
able recorcJ of five wins and three losses. After losing
their first game to California STC, the conference cham-
pions, the Big Indians went on to a four game winning
streak climaxed on Homecoming. Before an overflow
crowd of 7,000 the Braves trounced a highly favored
Carnegie Tech team 21-0. Coach Sam Smith will lose
ten seniors via graduation and will face a complete re-
building job for next season.

up the season with a bid to the state NAIA
tournament. In a season marred by injuries,
the Braves still dished out the brand of basket-
ball the fans wanted to see. The student body
responded and packed Waller Gym to ca-
pacity for each game. Sparked by senior star
Jamie Kimbrough, the crippled quintette dis-
played the fine teamwork and good sports-
manship which made them the champions that
they are.

Wrestling
This year Coach Lew Shaffer's ISTC wrestling team
faced a rugged ten meet schedule and finished the sea-
son with 0 record of three wins, six losses, and one tie.
The Indiana wrestling squad is probably the most
unique in the state for it includes a blind wrestler, Arnie
Bowser, and a grappler with only one arm, Paul Ko-
ontz. The year was highlighted by the excellent work of
senior Ron Frey, and freshman Bill McCreory. Coach's
Shaffer and Tanzola will lose only Frey by graduation
and look forward to a powerhouse in 1960.
Row 1: Charles Gray, Bill McCreory, Paul Koontz, Bob King, Tom Donn. Row 2: Coach Lew Shaffer, Gory Knupp,
Bob Cramer, Gregg Colciwell, Ron Frey, Bob Cable.
Baseball
The miserable weather which held early spring practice
to a minimum didn't stop the 1958 I.S.T.C. baseball
team from compiling the best record in years. The
rainy weather didn't dampen the spirits of the Braves
as they won their first five games in a row. Seniors
Jack Bizyak, John Barley, and Max Anderson will leave
a large gap that coaches Smith and Dougherty will
have to fill. Bizyak signed a professional contract with
the St. Louis Cardinals after graduation.
Row I; Bill Hoffman, Tom Petrore, Roy Bosetti, Jim Yoconis, Bill
Eberhordl, Bucky Porisi, John Barley. Row 2; Jack Bizyak, Boyd
Morris, John Caruso, Brent Lingenfelter, Lorry Marofka, A! Vese-
licky, Dan Parsho, Tom Gnibus. Row 3: Owen Dougherty, Ass't
coach. Bob Cortese, manager. Gene Warden, Max Anderson,
Robert Urbon, oss't coach, Don Zuniga, monoger, Sam Smith,
coach.

Tennis
Coach Jim McKinley's tennis proteges finished the 1958
season with a creditable 4-3 record, despite the dismal
weather which hampered early spring practice. Coach
McKinley will have quite a problem replacing his two
net stars, Ruth Martin and Jerry Lasso, who will be lost
by graduation.
Jerry Lasso, Ruth Martin
Golf
The ISTC golf team for 1958 posted an impressive rec-
ord of 7 wins and 2 defeats. Although such mainstays
as George Hershey, Jack Shubert, and George May-
field will be lost by graduation. Coach George Miller
can count on Tony Dalessandro, Dave Maysfield, and
Ron Burke to form the nucleus of next year's squad.

Intramural Sports
One aim of education is to teach people wise use of
leisure time. By promoting intramural sports tourna-
ments Indiana has adopted to its curriculum the oppor-
tunity for all students, particularly those not physically
able to compete in the more strenuous activities, to
achieve this ultimate goal. However, more immediate
results of participation in intramurals are rather obvious
— present enjoyment and improvement of health; de-
velopment of good sportsmanship and fair play; a
gathering of knowledge of rules and skills which may
lead the student to organize and promote similar activi-
ties in the public schools.

Physical activity is as popular with the Indiana coeds as
it is with the men. Monday is women's night in the gym,
and unless a varsity game is scheduled, the coeds
stream into the gym, eager for competition. Volleyball
and basketball leagues are formed, and each week the
teams vie for leadership. Not only does this afford an
opportunity for healthful physical activity, but it also
gives the girls an opportunity to meet new friends and
to learn teamwork and good sportsmanship.

Men's Varsity I
The Men's Varsity "I" is made up of students who have
been certified by the College Athletic Committee as
having won a letter — a Varsity "I" in any one of the
college sports. This letter, however, stands not only for
physical prowess but also for creditable academic abil-
ity, because only those students meeting scholastic re-
quirements are considered for membership. Thus it is
realized that brawn and brains con mix.

Cheerleaders
With good, healthy cheers and peppy, precisioned
moneuvers our cheerleaders are frequently able to
instill in our athletic teams that final spurt of energy
which many times has helped to make happy victors
of our exhausted men. These seemingly tireless girls
oided by our Indian chief and squaw ore many
times seen shivering in the cold or dripping with
roin, but always on the sidelines urging our boys to
victory.

The first snowfall of the year usually finds the Winter
Sports Club enthusiasts dotting the hills around the Col-
lege lodge, getting in shape for a season of toboggan-
ing, skiing, and sledding — that is, provided there's
snow. The nippy weather, however, brings with it more
than rosy cheeks, frosted fingertips, and red noses.
While thawing out around the fireploce of the lodge,
the sports lovers moke many friendships that last long
after the snow melts.
